DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi There The system is from a 930/10 engine and as far as I can tell is complete. I haven't had the engine running but I'm happy to provide detailed images and undertake any basic testing such as resistance tests if that helps. I won't be removing for a couple of weeks so there is the opportunity fo...

That's amazing, thanks very much both. Things didn't work out as I'd hoped over Christmas but got a bit done this morning. I couldn't decide where to mount the battery switch so went for this solution as I can always change my mind in the future. Started the day with a bit of CAD. https://live.stati...

Almost ready to fit the fuel tank but a bit nervous about the bonnet latch not working properly. I had a couple occasions when it wouldn't open and I had to crawl underneath to open it. The latch seems a bit 'floaty' like there may be a pivot point missing. It does seem from playing with it that the...

Fuel pump mounted, seemed logical to put it at the opposite side to the Fuse box and battery. I will replace the sticker with Bendix one from ebay at some point.

Yep, spring is the goal. I'm really trying to keep things as simple as possible as well as not getting too bogged down with detail. I'm buying as many things as possible in yellow Zinc but there are things such as the clips for the heater cable outers that came from Porsche in silver. I've decided t...

Small blanking plug is M14 x 1.5 , this will replace the banjo bolt that was used for the return. This was from T7 design on ebay who also do really great quality Bowden cables that I got for the heater/vent controls.

Been a while but up and running again, New ST looks like a nice thing but really seems like a missed opportunity. Not really seeing anything inspired by an original. Center fill, period color or even just options for a period inspired livery would have been nice. So it looks like I’ll have to just s...

Thanks for that, think I'm going to have a second go with some help to lift in and out. I didn't really appreciate that there was quite a bit of work fitting the trim, think I was expecting it to be a 5 min job. I've removed and refitted the screen in my other car a couple of times but it didn't hav...

Thanks Rob, will give that a go for attempt number 2. Steady progress, its been rewarding to work on the gear shifter, hand brake and pedals. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53072699112_4229249873_c.jpg 2023-07-26_07-59-47 by richard cannings , on Flickr Focusing on getting the car on its wheels...

Thanks, Rear screen fitted yesterday morning, really pleased and relieved to get it done . Although I got the screen for a really good price I checked the price of a new one which did put the pressure on somewhat. Tried the front screen this afternoon and managed to smash it within minutes, only cos...

Just found the mounting bracket that I will include, light surface rust only.

Hi There, I've just fitted retro trim one from D911. It was the black none without sunroof. Nothing really to compare with but the fabric is really quite think and its really stretchy, in a good way. Feels and looks great quality fabric. I needed to lay the rods over it and trim down the loops that ...

Trip to the surrey Hills today.

Just looking back at some earlier pictures, I do quite miss the metalwork.

Steady progress, got the Headlining 90% complete today. Went for black which I'm really happy with but decided try gorilla contact adhesive which is complete arse and even after 5 mins drying time only just sticks. Luckily I practiced attaching off cuts of of heading to a coke can and realised this ...
